The cache is located in Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. The Preserve is along Klondike Road south of Lithonia in southeastern DeKalb County..

From the parking lot, take the Mountaintop Trail to the top of Arabia Mountain. The cache is roughly a half mile beyond the top of Arabia Mountain and about a mile from the parking lot. After reaching the top of Arabia Mountain, visitors can navigate to the cache by generally staying on the rock outcrop and following established footpaths thru any narrow sections of woodland. Be careful not to step on sensitive plants, such as diamorpha, moss, or lichen.

Parking is available at the provided parking coordinates. Please do not pull off to the side of the road.

This nature preserve, like other Georgia woodlands, has ticks during all but the winter season. Take precautions that include wearing a hat, a long sleeve shirt, and long pants with legs tucked into socks. Wear light colored clothing for ease of spotting ticks, especially deer ticks that are the size of a pin head. Use bug spray with the chemical DEET and especially spray around the ankle area. Additional info for tick prevention measures.
